First State Drive as Monarch, 1937 - A Majestic Journey
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph from the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937, we witness a momentous occasion in British history. King Edward VIII, also known as Albert Frederick Arthur George Saxe-Coburg-Gotha or simply Duke of Windsor, embarks on his first state drive as the reigning monarch. The image captures the grandeur and elegance surrounding this significant event. Leaving Buckingham Palace for a levee at St James's, King Edward VIII is accompanied by his beloved Queen Consort, Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon. Dressed in regal attire befitting their royal status, they exude grace and poise as they make their way through the bustling streets of London. The carriage itself is a work of art - beautifully decorated with intricate details that reflect the rich heritage and tradition of Britain. Footmen dutifully attend to their roles while citizens line the streets to catch a glimpse of their revered king and queen. This snapshot not only immortalizes an important milestone in British monarchy but also showcases the talent of Gordon Beckles, who skillfully captured every nuance and emotion within this historical moment. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of literature from Daily Express' archives, it serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by King Edward VIII during his brief reign.
